After a 21-month in-person hiatus, it was well worth the wait to return to the Laird Room for 65 summer interns from the UW-Stevens Point School of Business and Economics. The largest group in program history presented about their experiences during an in-person SBE Internship Expo on Sept. 29, 2021.
The last time the event was held in person was in December 2019, with two virtual expos since then being held since then.
The event is an effort from the Anderson Classroom to Career Center and made possible thanks in part to a $1 million gift from Keith ’85 and Tammy Anderson. Keith joined the event via Zoom from Virginia to provide inspiration to all.
Interns shared about what their duties were, what they learned, how courses prepared them and more. Placement of internships ranged from small family-owned accounting firms to insurance corporate headquarters; some were remote while others attended in-person.
SBE students are required to complete an internship before graduation–many complete more than one. These experiences create opportunities for growth and the development of new skills, and over 65% of our interns are getting job offers are a result of their internships.
